Dr agreed- no hernia, it's a lymph node. Currently, he's thinking Bacteria of some sort. He gave two plausable reasons. First one being- I never (or rarely) wear underwear (TMI- I know). He also (correctly) assumed that I, like most guys, wear jeans several times between washes. He said I could have ended up with some sort of Bacterial infection from that. Makes sense- balls sweat, rear end sweat.....you get the picture. I also asked about the beer. He said he'd never heard of that before, but he could certainly buy it. Yeast, is living. Something with that could have went haywire and given me some sort of stomach bug for a bit. Either way- he wasn't too concerned. He gave me an antibiotic for 10 days and wants to see me again in two weeks. If there's no improvement then he's going to set me up with a surgeon- snip out a little piece and test it to see what's up. He said I could pretty much rule out lymphoma since this single node was my only issue. The only other cancer'ish thing it could possibly be is testicular, and even that was doubtful since the boys seemed fine. I'm down with loosing a nut if it means living.
On to the humor section of the visit. No matter how scared/paranoid I am, my humor always shines through- so onto me and the Dr......
He's sitting on his short stubby little Dr. stool and wants me to drop trow- so I did.....ding ding all up in his face. Odd experience for me- my ding ding has been in a few faces before- but never a man. So, he's feeling around my inner thigh, then announces that he's going to check the testicles. I said the first thing that came to mind, which was: Go nuts!
Later on in the visit, he asked me how my bowel movements were- I said: fine. He then asked how frequent, to which I replied: Sir, I probably drop more knowledge in a day than most of your patients do in a week. He asked: Is that normal? I replied: For me- yes. For your other patients- I doubt it.
All in all- happy with the visit. He didn't seem concerned- so neither am I for the time being.
